24 Things I’ve Never Told You!

Good Morning! I thought it would be fun to do things a bit differently today. I know you come here to see food, but I thought maybe you’d enjoy hearing about the chick that makes the food.

A little human interaction.

It’s not going to be all roses…but that makes me real, right?

I’ve decided to share 24 of my habits, crazy quirks, and a few closely guarded secrets…

I am double jointed in my elbows and shoulders. I probably should’ve been a gymnast that worked the parallel bars. I can do crazy things with my arms that usually releases gasps of horror from on-lookers.

I bite my fingernails. A lot. It’s gross. I know it’s gross but I haven’t been able to make myself stop.

I love the smell of tomato vines.

My all time favorite movie is Spaceballs. I could watch it over and over again. In fact I just watched it for the 8,329th time over the weekend while I was glampin. (it’s not really that many….I hope)

I went to 3 different schools in the 7th grade. My Mom was “finding herself” that year.

I believe in ghosts.

I have a 2 inch long scar on my knee from when I was 8. I was cardboard sliding and hit a chunk of obsidian and gashed my knee open.

I subject my family to listening to classical music on Sunday. The rest of the week it’s a mix of all other genres, but Sunday is reserved for classical.

I wear flip flops from April until October. Clean feet are only a Winter luxury.

I love interior design almost as much as I love cooking. Almost. Close second. 🙂

I am the happiest when I own an old house that needs fixing. We tried living in a brand new home once, and it was not good for our marriage. Old house and projects are now a requirement when house hunting.

I love expensive shoes. If I won the lottery today, that would be my first splurge. Then airplane tickets to somewhere swanky so I could wear them.

I lived in San Francisco for 8 years. I love that city. I love visiting whenever I can, but would never give up living in a small town or on acreage for the big city life again.

I am going to be 42. There…I said it. PHEW! 🙂

I have walked the 60 mile long Breast Cancer 3 Day four times. That’s 240 miles of walking.

I am actually very shy. If I don’t know many people at a party, I stay for a short time and then leave.

I am a social butterfly at my own parties. If I know everyone, I can turn on my alter ego that is not one bit shy.

I never went to college. I did go to University of Phoenix (not the one in AZ) for a short time, but never graduated.

One of my many jobs was as a Balloon Decorator. Need a 20 foot spiral balloon arch? I’m your gal.

I am most likely 100% grey. “Most Likely” because I will probably never know the true percentage! My motto is “dye til you die”.

I was an only child until I was 23 when I found out I had a sister that was 27.

I have never been overseas, other than to Hawaii – which technically is over “sea”.

I question whether we could be the only beings in the Universe and would love to see a crop circle in person. Weird, right? It’s on my bucket list.

I love sharks and grew up wanting to be a shark biologist. I was discouraged by a respected adult who said that “women can’t become shark biologists, it’s a man’s field” and never pursued it.

Well, that’s 24 interesting facts about ME.

I’d love to hear a bit about you! Feel free to post in the comments about your own quirks or habits. Ready? Go! 🙂
